Hey Joe, do you realise we are only allowed one “Song of the Day”?
That’s a great punk song from the Ramones and an excellent video to go with it. Don’t tell anyone, but I probably dance like Lurch!
How’s this one, just for fun.

Jscki, remember the MLT and band’s 2007 live concert? They did a cover of the Animals’ ”House of the Rising Sun”, which is the record that made the Animals in the US in 1964. Eric Burdon was their lead singer.

Well put David.
At the beginning of the year I created a topic that includes many covers of Dylan songs. The Topic is called: The MonaLisa Twins Do Dylan

Yes Joe, Chas Chandler discovered Jimi in Greenwich Village, New York City after he left the Animals in 1966. He found him accomadation and recruited his band mates Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell. He also funded his first single “Hey Joe”, as he didn’t have a recording contract. After Hendrix, Chandler managed Slade for 12 years.

He would have been the age I am now, 67. He’s now 79 as he was born 11 May 1941.
I bought the single version of this in 1967
“It’s My Life”

Of course. How could I foget that video. That and “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer”, which was never a favourite Beatles’ number of mine, but how can you not like the MLT version, with the cameo appearance of papa Rudi as the unhinged Maxwell.

I’ve never heard this before either JP. Thanks for sharing. I’ll have to listen to it in full when I get the time. It’s a great interpretation of the first album I ever bought, in 1967, when I was only 15 years old. The same age Mona and Lisa were when they had their school exchange experience in Australia in 2009, just to put things in perspective.
I am trying to think whether they’d actually recorded anything off this album. “She’s Leaving Home” comes to mind but not sure where it is now. Probably one of their radio shows.

This is live from Germany in 2008 and showing that Eric still had it all of these years later. One of the best Rock voices ever. I heard him say in one of his interviews that before they toured, Americans thought he was a black singer. A great blues voice.

“Ring of Fire”, like you’ve never heard before!

Sky Pilot – Long version

And how’s this for an interpretation of a Rolling Stones song?
-
Hey Joe, In the sixties I had the single version of “Sky Pilot” and “Ring of Fire” (1968) and in the seventies I had a copy of “The Greatest Hits of Eric Burdon and the Animals”, which featured Sky Pilot, San Franciscan Nights, Monterey, White Houses, Ring of Fire, To Love Somebody and River Deep Mountain High and I think from memory, “Paint It Black.”

Hi Michael. Though never really a Country music fan, I was quite partial to Dylan’s “Nashville Skyline” and in particular, his Johnny Cash collaboration – “Girl From the North Country”.

Hey Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand? You must get that a lot. And what an awesome song to kick start Jimi’s career. You can’t help but be transfixed by that guitar intro. Mark Knopfler credits it with influencing him to get into the guitar playing business.
It is one of those instances that stick in your mind and you never forget. I’ve had a quite a lot myself. Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone”, the Hollies “Bus Stop”, the Who’s “Substitute”, the Kinks “Waterloo Sunset” (how’s that practice going Lisa), Manfred Mann’s “Do Wah Diddy Diddy” and “Pretty Flamingo”, Herman’s Hermits “There’s a Kind of Hush” and “No Milk Today”, the Beach Boys “Sloop John B”, the Animals “It’s My Life”, the intro to the Stones’ “Tell Me”, “Honky Tonk Women”, “Street Fighting Man”, “Gimme Shelter” and “Brown Sugar”, to name just a few, and many early Beatles’ songs, like “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” and “Help”.
Hearing favourite songs for the first time is an experience you can only have once in a lifetime and is one that you want to repeat so often, they can sometimes begin to wear on you. Having not listened for many years, and then seeing some of your old favourites having new life breathed back into them, is the gift that the MLT continue to give.
